Had to have a play with my new Sweet Ebony stamp "Picking Apples" from Sugar Nellie. It arrived yesterday when I was at work but don't work Thursdays (apart from house work & shopping lol) so had a bit of time this afternoon too have a play! X

I sent her some Panduro stamped images and yesterday she was busy making cards for charity with them. Pop over to her blog and take a look at what she made, they are soooo beautiful! Thank you very much Katy I am looking forwards to having a good play with these! X

Heidi is offering the chance to win one of the beautiful Hanglar and Stangler stamps as blog candy along with some other H&S stamped images. I love these stamps but they are impossible to get hold of here in the UK at the moment. I have heard a rumour they may be coming into the country soon, Can't wait! In the mean time I have all my fingers and toes crossed hoping to win one from Heidi !X

I love the colours lime and lilac so decided to also enter the Papertake Weekly Callenge this weeks theme being "Lucious Lime And Lilac". So I made one card which fit both challenges and here it is!

Too hot today to make cards! I have done my house work and now there is only one thing left to do and that is go make a bacardi and coke and sit in the garden! The chances of me making a card that isn't wonky after that is pretty slim so I will leave the card making for today lol!X

Had another play with my Lola's Tea Party stamp this afternoon. I used the same colours as Rachael Anne Miller has this image coloured on her website. I bought a new pack of 36 Faber-Castell watercolour pencils and wanted to try them out.X
